The process of preparing for the construction of the high-speed railway on Corridor 10 is progressing at a satisfactory pace. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport and Communications Aleksandar Nikolloski announced today that public presentations of the completed studies will be held during August.
According to him, once this procedure is completed, work will continue on drafting contracts for the financing and implementation of the project, while the financing terms will be presented to Parliament.

Nikolloski said that the start of construction remains planned for the end of this year.
“Preparations for the construction of Corridor 10 are progressing excellently. The environmental study and the social impact study have been completed. At the beginning of August, public presentations will be organised, at least four, in Skopje, Veles, Demir Kapija and Gevgelija, where local residents will be able to familiarise themselves with the contents of the documents. This is a high-quality document of around 1,600 pages covering all aspects. Following the presentations, the document will undergo review and incorporate comments from the local community. Under the agreement we have, this phase should be completed by 31 August, after which we will move into finalising and preparing contracts for financing and implementing the project. Everything is progressing according to plan,” Nikolloski said.
He stressed that domestic financing legislation requires the terms to be presented publicly in Parliament. For this reason, according to Nikolloski, they cannot be made public until that point.
